1956 - ILYA MUROMETS, incredibly large scale Russian epic

 It's big, it's crazy, it's a large scale Russian epic and I do mean large scale. 

Everything about the film is larger than life, the widescreen photography, the cast of thousands, the overacting, the sets, you name it.

 

The film ends with a spectacular battle using an actual fire breathing dragon all of things. Very impressive and remember this is 1950's technology.

 

I've said it before but this a one of it's kind watching experience.

Running time 83 minutes. Written by Mikhail Kochnev.
